Article Summary: Putting a spin on simplistic summer dresses reveals the most creative and expertly considered styling approaches for transforming simple pieces into extraordinary outfits.
Gathered:
A top pick for our list of summer dress trends is the gathered dress. Most popularly seen on tshirt dresses and kersey knits, this look adds character and dimension to a simple style. Prints and patterns liven up this look too, and its a perfect look for the beach. You can also create this look yourself by knotting a long tshirt dress at the bottom left or right hemline.

Off-The-Shoulder:
This look is sexy without being too overtly risque. If you have shoulders to show off this season, rock this look with a simple necklace and a pair of wedges or thongs. Opt for a fun floral or tribal print to mix it up and add personality.
